Lot essay

As a seminal illustration of mid-60s Pop London, Anonioni's 'Blow-Up' signposted London's pre-eminence as a font of youthful and modern spirit. The director consciously selected environments emblematic of 'Swinging London', to include Peter & Alison Smithson's 1964 Economist Building, the studio of photographer John Cowan, and undergound night-clubs featuring live performances by The Yardbirds.
